White Lies
Unraveling Deceit: Jason & the Scorchers' Tale of White Lies
Lyrics
Every evening when I walk through the door
Expressing the routine of coming home every evening.
I hear the same old lies that I've heard before:
Noticing a pattern of hearing familiar lies.
you're going out for the evening, going out with a friend.
Being told excuses about going out for the evening with a friend.
Do you really want me to believe that again?
Expressing doubt and skepticism about the repeated excuses.
You're telling white lies, you're telling white lies.
Accusing the partner of telling falsehoods (white lies).
I can see right through that this disguise.
Claiming the ability to see through the partner's deceptive behavior.
Can't you tell I can tell when you're telling white lies?
Asserting that the speaker can detect when white lies are being told.
Take these chains and set me free,
Desiring liberation from the emotional burden (symbolized by chains).
release me from this misery.
Pleading to be freed from the current state of misery.
Now, don't you waste my time with your alibis
Rejecting the idea of being misled by excuses.
'cause your heart can't hide what I see in your eyes.
Stating that genuine emotions are visible in the partner's eyes.
You're telling white lies, you're telling white lies.
Reiterating the accusation of the partner telling white lies.
I can see right through that thin disguise.
Emphasizing the ability to see through the partner's disguise.
Can't you tell I can tell when you're telling white lies?
Reaffirming the speaker's awareness of when white lies are spoken.
Every evening when I walk through that door
Repeating the experience of hearing the same lies upon returning home.
I get the same old lies that I've heard before:
Echoing the sentiment of encountering familiar falsehoods.
you're going out for the evening, going out with a friend.
Recalling the partner's excuses about going out.
Do you really want me to believe that again?
Expressing doubt about the credibility of the stated reasons.
You're telling white lies, you're telling whire lies.
Reiterating the accusation of the partner telling white lies.
I can see right through that thin disguise.
Emphasizing the transparency of the partner's disguise.
Can't you tell I can tell when you're telling white lies?
Asserting the ability to discern when white lies are being told.
You're telling white lies, you're telling white lies.
Repeating the accusation of the partner telling white lies.
I can see right through that thin disguise.
Stressing the visibility of the partner's thin disguise.
Can't you tell I can tell when you're telling white lies?
Reaffirming the awareness of the speaker when white lies are spoken.
